Great item, great price, easy to use

Our previous Breville Wok element failed. This wok worked well and lasted for many years. For that reason, we replaced the failed wok with another Breville Wok. The new wok is slightly smaller and a slightly less powerful heating element. The reduced power heating element is noticeable; searing meat is not as quick. Overall the new wok is good, but not quite up to the performance of the previous model.

I was a little dubious about purchasing an electric wok because the last one I had - about 15 years ago - just did not get hot enough to sear properly. What a difference in the technology! This wok is the perfect size for our family (just two) and SO versatile! I can do the stirfries I have not been able to do for years because I don't have gas - and I can also use it to deep fry, simmer and even to make stews and curries. The base is removable so easy to wash up and keep clean, the lid fits perfectly and has a vent if you want to reduce sauces. So for the first time since moving to a house without gas I can make great stir fries again AND so much more, such as steaming perfect bbq pork buns! Very happy customer, well worth the price!
